Thanks! Took some efforts to get her in shape, but the basis looks great so far.

After some reference checking, I discovered that the black line from the bottom to the camouflage is soft, not sharp as I’ve airbrushed.

So: here we go again with lifted masks, trying to correct it to a soft line

Anyone who can tell me which colour these opening have on the top fuselage of Aardvarks?

If your referring to the grills, I would say stainless steel. I need to know as well for my build when the time comes.

Exactly, those grills

The boundary layer bleed air ducts were usually painted the same camouflage colour as the rest of the fuselage, I would also run a wash into them to represent the louvre openings

Sorry guys did not sharing new updates on this build. Just enjoying some nice summer evenings here in The Netherlands, but an update will follow soon (camo ready).

Wut?! Enjoying outdoorsy activities when you should be putting styrene together? Blasphemer!

G'day Bastian,

 

Lovely work, she is really coming together now.

 

One observation though, I thought that the underwing pylons were painted in the dark green (FS 34079) but yours are in black. Same goes for the launcher. Did the USAF paint them in both colours? In the Lock-On book mpost of the pics show them as vreen but in a few pics they look like they could be black but the pics are taken in deep shadow. Looking forward to the finished article,

Hi there, thanks! It’s nice when this old Vark gets to life.

well noted, I’ll do some research on photos then. On the hasegawa painting guide they were black I believe, but will check and find the right colour.
